Sonia Andrade (born 1935) is a Brazilian feminist and visual artist. She was born in 1935 in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil[1][2] She was one of the pioneers in video art in Brazil in the mid-1970s. Her video works use appropriation, humor, and political commentary to break down accepted visual codes.[2]
Works
Andrade's body of work includes drawings, photography, objects,installation and mulit-channel video to achieve what she calls "the most important aspect of art-the relationship between the spectator and the object."[2] Hydrogrammas is her most famous piece of work which consist of hundreds of small objects that assemble into a sculpture, which was eventually displayed in National Museum of Fine Arts and later at the Museum of Contemporary Art of São Paulo.[1]
